Drink Orange Juice Daily To Prevent Stroke And Heart Attack.
Surprising health benefits of orange juice
Drinking orange juice daily may cut your risk of deadly strokes by almost a quarter, suggests a study. The study, published in the British Journal of Nutrition, showed that people who consumed the juice each day saw a reduction in the risk of a brain clot by 24 percent, the Daily Mail reported. Further, the rates of heart disease were also reduced in regular drinkers, who were 12 to 13 percent less likely to suffer from damaged arteries.
Sugar here is not evil!
Fresh fruit juices have long been thought of as healthy. But consumers in recent years have been put off by warnings over their high sugar content. The researchers noted that the health benefits in terms of stroke prevention could outweigh the risks of sugar content.
Orange juice protects the blood vessels.
It’s not just orange juice that has this benefit, other fruit juices also appear to cut the risk. Juice is thought to contain many of the naturally-occurring plant substances found in whole fruit that can protect blood vessels against disease.
